I have been using OB for a few weeks now, along with other
Stardock components. I like it alot, mostly for cosmetic
reasons, but I'm also figuring a more useable desktop, right
now. In other words, I'm a newbie, and I'm having fun.

But, for some reason, OB is miserably corrupted. Every time I
try to run it, I get a dialogue box that states "Object Bar
has encountered a problem and needs to shut down". If I try
to hit the "Tell Microsoft about the problem" button, my whole
system hangs, and all I can do is reboot. So, I hit the "Don't
send" button now. And now, every time I restart my computer, I get the same lousy message.

I tried to uninstall and reinstall OB (at least 3X), but it
has not solved the problem. I tried uninstalling, then going
through and deleting all mention of OB, except my downloads (I
don't want to redownload everything), but no good. I
reinstall and get the same problem.

But, I cannot delete OB fully. It always installs one of the
bars, but never restores it to the original MS configuration,
even after I try to fully uninstall. I guess I gotta get rid
of the downloads, huh?

Also, all icons in the system tray disappear as soon as I run
my mouse over it. Gone. Empty. And, if I open up the Task
Manager, the only app it says I'm running is SysMetrix, though
it does list all 36 processes that are running. That's a lot
of processes, I think. I've had to put stuff into my Object
Dock just to be able to access them easily, like Zone Alarm
and ICQ.

My system looks like this:

Dell XPS T500 upgraded to 1.2ghtz with a Powerleap Celeron processor
Windows XP Professional
256 MB RAM, which I just upgraded today to 512 MB
NVidia Riva TNT2/TNT2 Pro
1024 x 768 x 75 hertz
32 bits/pixels

In System Information/Windows Error Reporting window, it
states:
Application Error Faulting application objectbar.exe version
1.6.0.628 faulting module unknown, version 0.0.0.0, fault
address 0x6f6d6552.
This is a lot of information that is totally meaningless to
me, but I hope it can help one of you help me.

BTW, I also cannot run DesktopX. It completely hangs my
system. I tried uninstalling it, and I get an error stating
that it cannot find the install app, or something like that.

All this bugginess is starting to really discourage me, but I
don't want to give up yet. TIA for any assistance you can
provide.
